Hershel, not sure if this is robust enough but look here:

Add as many nodes as you want. The whole script is:

function ToggleSection(node) 
{
	var nodeArray = node.childNodes;
	for(i=0; i < nodeArray.length; i++)
	{
		node = nodeArray[i];
		if (node.tagName && node.tagName.toLowerCase() == 'div')
		{
      		node.style.display = (node.style.display == "block") ? 'none'
: 'block';
		}
	}
}

It might at least point you in the right direction...
